I'm so glad you're showing these again. This series was the first I saw after I finally got a computer and almost learned to use it. I was in my latest crazy quilt phase, and had no idea after all these years what was going on "out there" - and stumbled upon yours and then Allie Aller. How fortunate I was!! A whole new world opened up for me, and marvelous inspiration for my needlepoint design..

Of course we are still enjoying it! This is one of my all time favourite crazy quilts and I can never tire of looking at it.
Hugs,
